Yeah, sorry. I picked up a minty 3120xp from my local drug, I mean Husqvarna/Stihl dealer...So that's the thing that happened? Acquiring a minty saw? Nice
Gonna try my hand at milling.
That's funny saws are addictive and can cause a sense of euphoria as many drugs do while using them

Ok I'll admit why I do it. It is the only way for me to remember how to spell "still, steal, stihl"
when the saw is running.

Yeah, I've got a bunch of rounds of beech about that size in the front yard waiting for the weather to allow swapping out the splitter engine, and had a sycamore easily that big taken down by the F.... road commission a couple of years ago - that's a beech.Not a sycamore. Sycamore bark is scaly. Beach and Ironwood is soothe. I think too big for an Ironwood. I'll go with Beech. jmhoOT
I have a pretty good pile of logs that could be milled, I'm only allowed to bring one
. I better make it a good one 
.The cherry log I've been cutting cookies out of was meant to be one to mill, I just started cutting on the wrong one
. It's a very hard piece of cherry, and probably the nicest one I had for milling
. I also have a few red oaks that I thought would be good for cutting slabs out of to sell.Maybe when the weather changes late spring would be a good time, hopefully by then I'll have all the wood off my car hauling trailer or the trailer I'm building, either one would be nice to haul logs on as they are both flat/open without rails. Right now the car trailer has all my 2x wood on it for the barn, but by then it should be used up or nice enough to put back outside for a bit. I need to get the barn floor graded so I can get some concrete in there as soon the cash comes in for it, I'm excited about that stage of the barn build
. Got any connections for concrete, I even considered going to work delivering concrete, will work for concrete . Just stopped at the township office to check on the cost of my electrical permit, picked up a 200amp panel a few weeks ago

I had a nice 15"X19+' black cherry log I was saving to mill. About a month ago I said forget it and bucked/split it up for firewood. Wish I'd have waitedI have a pretty good pile of logs that could be milled, I'm only allowed to bring one

Oh well, I have plenty more trees to slab up.
I meant to pull one off the stack that was crooked for cutting cookies, I like the smell of them drying on the wood stove, got the wrong one. More will come though, and it's not like I don't have others tooI had a nice 15"X19+' black cherry log I was saving to mill. About a month ago I said forget it and bucked/split it up for firewood.

I used one of the pieces I milled out of a cherry to keep the recliner couch off the wall this weekend. I milled some of them at 2" thick. I think this is 1 1/4". Wood has been in the barn for maybe 2 years.I meant to pull one off the stack that was crooked for cutting cookies, I like the smell of them drying on the wood stove, got the wrong one.

Cutoff.
Nice.
If only I would have done that yrs ago, maybe we wouldn't have the hole in the wall behind ours
.Now I need to put wainscoting up on two walls to hide it, maybe I could get some nice milled boards to use
.
I have seen a few houses that have used reclaimed Cyprus from mushroom boards around here. Maybe you could start collecting wooden pallets for a lumber source?
Had to do similar thing but don't have 16"+ wide milled cherryNice.
